[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1650438, member: 406880"] Very true [USER=410240]@ringi[/USER]! Too bad the QOF doesn't incentivise data gathering for dietary control. They gather data for everything else, escalating medications, statins use, etc. etc. Maybe, just maybe, if data on the number of patients with dietary control was sought then maybe GP's might recognise that this approach exists and is working for many. When you think about it, all of the guidelines (in the UK and the US) include lifestyle and dietary measures as the first approach, but nobody seeks metrics on the success of this approach. It always give me the impression that they are just paying lip service to lifestyle measures, before they roll out the big artillery - the algorithm for starting and escalating medications to treat this 'progressive' disease. Of course, the metrics would have to be sensitive enough to differentiate between the different dietary approaches, such as: number of patients achieving dietary control following the Eatwell guidelines, and: number of patients achieving dietary control following a LCHF diet/ND etc. etc. [/QUOTE]
